There is really nothing to this recipe and can be put together in just minutes. We use whole grain white bread for the added fiber and nutrition.
 
I mean it already has egg and cheeses but we can pretend it is healthy for us.

Once you layer the bread and the cheeses, make your egg and milk mixture.

Once it has cooled slightly you can serve it up. You definitely want to allow it to cool some of it will be a disaster to cut and serve.
